We Drove our Van From the UK to GUATEMALA! 🇬🇹

Lifestyle2/18/2024

Description

Van life in Guatemala is about to begin! It's time to leave the bustle of Mexico behind and begin the Central American leg of the Pan American Highway. We'd heard horror stories about the Mexico/Guatemala borders, but we had to take our chances and deal with whatever got thrown our way. (Still can't wrap our heads around the fact our little UK van is here!) + ↠ A BIT ABOUT US We're Chesca and Ben, and with our two pups River & Scout (🐶 🐶 ) we live and travel full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. We spent the first 3 years road tripping and doing as much van life in Europe as we could, from the wild coasts of Portugal to the Syrian border in Turkey, tackling lockdowns and another DIY van re-build along the way. But, as restrictions get imposed on British travellers in Europe, we felt like a new challenge. In the summer of 2022, we shipped our tiny home on wheels to Canada to begin the Pan American Highway - taking us from Alaska to the bottom of Argentina. This is our journey, come and join us. ↠ SUPPORT US Our videos will always be free, but if you'd like to support our channel you can join our Patreon here for bonus content & more - » https://www.patreon.com/chescaandben ↠ FOLLOW US For real-time updates on our van life travels: » Instagram - https://bit.ly/2YMpHdv » Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/overlandingsophia » Website - https://www.overlandingsophia.com + How We Get Internet on the Road: CONNECT+ Global SIM Long Term Plans - https://www.connectpls.com Mention 'Overlanding Sophia' for 50% discount off your first month + ↠ IN THIS VIDEO 0:00 - 01:59 - An Early Start 02:00 - 06:18 - Getting Ready for the Border 06:19 - 06:02 - Admin Jobs 🚐 06:03 - 12:35 - Tapachula Border Crossing in a Van 12:36 - 14:57 - Welcome to Guatemala! 14:58 - Paradise Found + ↠ WANT TO WATCH MORE?
